ALGARVE CAR HIRE - NEWS

Algarve Wine Route at Lisbon Tourism Fair

The Algarve is Portugal’s most important tourist region and quite rightly is showing off at the Lisbon Tourism Fair that started on Wednesday and runs until Sunday.

This year the Algarve Tourism Board is launching the Algarve Wine Route, the presentation of the now famous and re-issued 'Guide to Wines of the Algarve,’ and Mediterranean diet cooking.

Each of the Algarve’s councils has designated and marked space to enable it to promote its own range of tourism products and services.

On the Albufeira stand for example the council is of course pushing its sun and beach holidays but also showing that the city has a variety of attractions including fine dining, golf, shopping, scenery, nightlife, sporting and cultural activities.

Aljezur is focusing on the new Vincentina Route, the 4th Stage of the National Surf Circuit in June, the conference for Nature Tourism in October, the sweet Potato Festival, together with a food from renowned chef Victor Esteves.

The tourism fair is one of the major such fairs in Europe and thousands of tourism sector companies gather, attracting 65,000 visitors last year.
